The BR of IJN Hiei should be set to 6.3

As a battleship cruiser, her armor is actually not reliable. As shown in the picture, she will be penetrated by the 6.7 Gangu class SAPBC within 10km, and her fourth turret hoist armor is equivalent to only 100mm+. You can see in the picture that she is penetrated by the 203mm SAPBC within 10km. I don’t think she can become a qualified ship in 6.7


I haven’t downloaded the dev server, does hiei have horizontal armor covering the entire ship?

Is her armor coverage consistent with other Kongo class? (Without considering thickness) or does it at least have some deck armor?

The main armor of 203mm can basically cover the entire hull, but the 152mm armor on the upper layer of the hull cannot cover the 4th turret, and it only has 76mm magazine well armor, which is a very serious weakness


She has two layers, but both are very thin

at least she has these armor XD
wonder when other kongo class can have these
